Experiences of patients with nasal deviation surgery: Royal✓

Nasal deviation surgery, or septoplasty, is a key procedure for patients who face breathing problems due to an improper position of the nasal septum. Although the primary goal of this procedure is to improve breathing function, many patients simultaneously seek aesthetic corrections to improve the appearance of the nose and overall facial profile.

What is nasal deviation surgery and why is it important?  

Deviation of the nose occurs when the nasal septum, which divides the right and left sides of the nose, is not positioned correctly and moves to one side. This irregularity can cause problems such as difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, as well as other health problems. Nasal deviation surgery, also known as septoplasty, aims to correct this deviation, thereby improving airflow and reducing the risk of infections. In addition, many patients decide to perform aesthetic corrections during the procedure, which not only improves the functionality of the nose but also harmonizes its appearance with the rest of the face. 

Experiences of patients with nasal deviation surgery 

1. Minja, 30 years old, Belgrade:

"My breathing problem has been going on for years. I had a constantly stuffy nose, I often suffered from sinus infections and I could not breathe normally during the night. On the recommendation of a friend, I decided to have a nasal deviation surgery. After the first consultation with the surgeon, who explained the whole procedure and the recovery process to me in detail, I decided to have the surgery. The procedure was successful, and the difference in the quality of my breathing is incredible. Now I feel much better, I sleep better, and the result of the aesthetic nose correction is natural and in line with the rest of my face."

2. Ivan, 42 years old, Novi Sad:

"I decided to have a nasal deviation surgery for health reasons because I had a serious problem breathing due to a deviated septum. The operation went without any complications. The post-operative period was easier than I expected and the discomfort was minimal. Now I can breathe freely and my nose even got a nicer appearance, which boosted my confidence. The surgeon was very professional and attentive throughout the process, and his experience helped me feel safe."

3. Iva, 28 years old, Kragujevac:

"Although I didn't have a serious breathing problem, I always wanted my nose to be smaller and more symmetrical. My children teased me about the way my nose looked, so I decided to undergo a combination of nose deviation surgery and rhinoplasty. Although I was afraid of surgical procedures, the surgeon was very patient and explained every step of the process to me. A year after the operation, I can say that I am very happy. Not only can I breathe freely now, but my nose looks perfect - natural, symmetrical and matched with the rest of my face."

Advantages of nasal deviation surgery

• Functional improvement: The biggest benefit of nasal deviation surgery is a significant improvement in breathing. Patients who have had problems with nasal passage obstruction usually notice rapid improvement in daily activities, including easier breathing during sleep, greater capacity for physical exertion, and a reduction in frequent sinus infections.
• Aesthetic result: If an aesthetic correction is performed during the operation, many patients get a more symmetrical, natural appearance of the nose that is in harmony with the rest of the face. The aesthetic effects of the surgery often lead to greater self-confidence, as the nose is placed in a harmonious relationship with other facial features.
• Long-term results: One of the main advantages of this surgery is that it provides permanent results. Nasal septum correction usually eliminates the need for repeat procedures, meaning patients can enjoy breathing improvements and an aesthetic appearance for many years.
• Quick recovery: Recovery after nasal deviation surgery is usually not as demanding as patients often expect. Many quickly return to daily activities with minimal discomfort, and timely compliance with the doctor's instructions can significantly speed up recovery.  

Possible Complications and How to Avoid Them

Like any surgical procedure, nasal deviation surgery carries certain risks, but serious complications are very rare. The most common complications include infection, post-operative bleeding, and swelling. However, following post-operative instructions can significantly reduce the risk of complications. It is crucial to adhere to your surgeon’s recommendations, avoid straining and strenuous physical activities during recovery, and attend regular post-operative check-ups to monitor your condition and the speed of your recovery.

Cost of Nasal Deviation Surgery
